Open Mic Night at the Hertford Corn Exchange takes place every first and third Tuesday of the month, running from 7pm to 11pm. Sign-ups begin at 7pm, with performers given 10-minute slots.

Musicians, comedians, poets, storytellers and all other acts are welcome. A full sound system and microphones are provided, and the night is hosted by Fin Blackett. Entry is free for both performers and audience members.

Artists and photographers can also get involved — the bar area doubles as a pop-up gallery for the evening. To book a display space, contact Fin by email at fin.openmic@gmail.com. The same address is the point of contact for any questions about the night or stage setup.

Free entry. Open to all ages; under-18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
